Courtney Love & Todd Almond in New Musical: Kansas City Choir Boy
Kirk Douglas Theatre (Culver City, CA)
A mythic love story complete with a chorus of sirens and a string quartet, composer-lyricist Todd Almond’s emotional and imaginative music-theater piece co-starring rock star-actress Courtney Love arrives in L.A. after a sold-out run in New York. Love, whose “surprisingly soft-edged and bewitching presence” was praised by The New York Times, plays Athena, a woman whose tragic story is featured on a TV news report, sparking memories for a musician who recalls their small-town romance through a series of acclaimed songs. Almond, best known for his work with New York’s famed Public Theater, wrote and co-stars in this “irresistible gem” (Billboard) at Culver City’s Kirk Douglas Theatre.
